Student assisstent, University Medical Centre Groningen, The Netherlands
Renske Wiersema is a 4th year medical student from the University Medical Center of Groningen (UMCG). In her first year she became actively involved with feedback of education as a year representator. This motivated her to apply and to be selected for the role of Student Advisor of the Executive Board of the UMCG 2014-2016. In this role she gained interest for not only education itself but also its organization and innovation.
In 2015 she became involved with the project of Voucher Education, in which she works together with a team of enthusiastic students and collaborators from the educational institute. Voucher Education is a project in which medical bachelor students at the UMCG are granted one voucher to buy and create their own education.
Currently she is a student researcher in the Intensive Care Unit, a teacher and moving towards her medical degree. She is still working on Voucher Education and is active as chairwoman in local and national medical student representation.
